Large behind | Imamother

I’m fairly slim but my backside is huge. All my weight sits there. It wobbles behind me when I run upstairs or run anywhere.
I know it can’t get rid of all but I want to tone it but don’t know how. I think that will help things a bit.

Any advice?

No advice but same here Sad

I'm tall and thin with a tiny waist but a huge behind. I hate it and I'm so self conscious of it. and when I'm pregnancy, forget about it. It's literally bigger than my abdomen (I measured once lol)

• Squats: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, then bend knees and lower your body down until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Push back up to the starting position.
• Lunges: Step forward with one foot, lowering your body until your back knee almost touches the ground. Push back up and repeat with the other leg.
• Deadlifts: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, bend down and grab a weight or barbell with your hands, then lift up to a standing position, squeezing your glutes at the top.
• Glute bridges: Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the ground, then lift your hips up towards the ceiling until your body is in a straight line from head to heels.
• Hip thrusts: Sit on the edge of a bench or chair with your feet flat on the ground, then lift your hips up and back, squeezing your glutes at the top.

I have a larger behind, I'm thin and it sticks out
I actually see it as attractive! Plenty of people pay tons of $$$$ to make their behind look like mine
I look good in leggings and If only I could wear jeans I look amazing!

These exercises will just make your behind more shapely, it will not make it smaller at all.

I have been suffering with this my whole life. No clothing fits, exercise just made it more perky. I have no solution. I wish I could just surgically remove it. Someone told me as I age it'll get flatter. Eagerly looking forward to that.

I used to HATE my large behind. Until someone told me this. That in the non Jewish world it’s considered attractive and people pay for it. It really helped me come to terms with it although I still wish I’d be thinner in that area. Toning exercises help a bit and dieting too but you can never become flat if that’s your figure. Embrace it!

I'm a petit person with a huge behind & I hate it so. It's NOT attractive on frum women that dress tzenuis. It's attractive in jeans, pants, leggings, skin tight dresses, all of which I don't wear. I have such a hard time finding clothing that looks good on, because my body is not proportioned.
It's a family thing, I don't think anything helps much....

Thank you all- yes it’s hard to shop sometimes. And pleated skirts oh boy I stay away from them.

I’ve always wanted to wear jeans!

To be honest, even more than my bum it’s the little triangles at the side that come when I’m standing still- maybe toning will help with that?

I once did do an intensive exercise routine daily years ago and I was actually able to wear the little jersey pencil skirts that were in at the time.

Thank you for the exercises to try- I’m going to try a few of them daily and see how I go!
Got a gorgeous denim skirt I want to fit in in the summer without my booty sticking out!

I remember one of my high school friends telling me that my husband would enjoy it. I haven't noticed that he cares either way.
I know that in the world it can be considered very s-xy, I live in a black neighborhood and I got catcalled all the time even though I'm not pretty or thin at all.
For a frum woman it's a disaster. Nothing fits and very few styles look good. Dresses - forget about it. It's really hard to look nice with tznius standards with this shape.
There was a short time in my life when I was wearing pants and leggings. I looked amazing. Nothing tznius is meant for big behinds.

Same sister.
Toning it will only make it more perky. Not worthwhile for me to tone it directly.
The only time it gets smaller is when I get smaller.
I've learned to dress for my body type. I can't wear all clothes.

When I was a kid my siblings sang "I like big butts" about me.
To my utter shock dh says he likes it. Nice but I want a body for me not for my husband
Fit and flare or waisted things is the only style I can do. No pencil skirts or sheath dresses ie most frum styles
Oh well

As my exercise instructor says “our glutes are the biggest muscle in our body”

I’m with you op… except I’m not otherwise thin. Lol
My tush was always big…

Curious, for all of us in this boat - do you wear your skirts on your waist or on your hips?

Mine is massive. When I lose weight it looks kind of cool.

But now in my ninth month I look like a pure comedy show. It’s mortifying.

My biggest fear is the drooping with age. Omg. If this large happening droops I’ll be in deep trouble

Same I absolutely hated it all my single life.
I hate it still because it's impossible with Tznius clothing.
The upside is my husband absolutely loves it and I look great in leggings that I wear at home

Still would get rid of it if there was a way

I’m sorry there are so many of us like this but I’m also glad it’s not just me-
When I look around and feel all I see is skinny knit skirted women and I could never go near something like that, it’s nice to know I’m not alone!
